Stop excusing this heinous act, or coming up with "reasons" it happens, or blaming the victims.

If you rape, you are a rapist. And you have no excuse at all. No one invites rape. No one wants to be raped.

3rd reason: Rapists!


Totally, I concur. Imagine, just a week ago, a 27 year old was caught forcefully laying with a 9 year old girl in the bush. What could have been his reason? Immoral dressing?

Rapists and anyone with an iota of pity for them are fvcked! I regard it as a more heinous crime than stealing.

Op is right. It all starts with one's thoughts.

The truth is..anyone who actually justifies this barbaric act is a rapist himself!!..#aRapist has no excuse for his actions
#just like a Prostitute has no excuse for her acts too!

'No one wants to be raped' is right, but 'no one invites rape' is like saying poop won't attract flies .

You seem to find the concept of consent very difficult to understand.

Let me illustrate:

Theft - taking property without permission.

Owning property does not invite theft. Invitation to take property removes the criminal act.

If I have money and someone takes it without my permission, then someone has stolen from me. However, if I invite someone to take my money, then it is no longer theft.

No one imvites someone to perpetrate a crime against them. The act of invitation removes the criminal element.

Sex with consent is sex. Sex without consent is rape.

If you were raped by a man, and he said you were asking for it - even though you were just going about your business - that doesn't mean you weren't raped. He could say your clothes provoked him, or that you were drunk or ANYTHING. It doesn't remove the criminal element because you did not want sex with him.

I am not saying you will or should be raped. I am asking you to step into the shoes of a rape victim and stop blaming people for crimes done against them.

You are basically saying that anyone who doesn't wear a fire proof suit is asking to be set on fire.

This thread is about rape. If you'd like me to open a thread about olosho, I will. But please keep the discussion here about the topic.

I'm on the fence about this one.

Pornography is often violent and demeans women. When consumed at a young age, males may get the idea that women "like it rough" and therefore don't stop sexual acts when the woman says no or asks please stop.

But as for a cause? I'm not sure. It can be a contributing factor in some cases, but not all rapists have viewed pornography. I'm sure rape occurred before pornography existed.

Who's talking about consent?
Look here, you're getting me totally wrong ! While at it that the rape act is inexcusable, it still is a pandemic. It is even gonna persist to be endemic- call me pessimist but that's the truth! ; Rape is arguably as old as man. I mean, The mere fact that you got a pusee pasted in between your two legs is sure gonna attract the daredevil rapist just like the sweet scent of nectar attracts bees. Don't u fukcing gerit?

So, it is yr fukcing responsibility[/I] as a lady to fukcing look after your fukcing self! Nobody's gonna do that for ya! ; [i]The company you keep, where you go and when you go there, how you carry yourself, what you wear and how you wear what you wear and stuffs like that! ; yo doing this not just because yo apprehensive af being raped which is in all sense not a fool proof a preventive measure but also because you are a woman; you represent dignity, you are beauty, you command respect so you should allow me to just by seeing you respect you ; packaging yourself well, dress well... Skimpy dresses, bum shots etc should be kept at home for house chores, making your man's head tumble in arousal etc... Long enough dresses should follow you out; u know how glorious Michelle Obama look in those loose, beautiful long gowns right? uhlalah! Damn Hot , American women in their suits and long pant? Yikes! boss lady and so on and so forth....

I'm not gonna argue this any further, if u can't get yourself to see things from my perspective after all these painstaking long talk, you can as well Go Fukc yourself! Ciao..

You have contradicted yourself.

Ladies look hot covered up and uncovered. But rapists only target those that are uncovered regardless of how hot they look? Untrue. Women who wear niqab get raped, too.

I do see things from your perspective, but your perspective is warped.

Instead of teaching women to protect themselves, teach men not to rape. Teach them it's unexcusable under any circumstance.

What you are doing is telling men that rape is bad, but if a woman is wearing something that makes them look desirable (either short clothes or a pant suit) then it's ok.

It is never ok.

P.s. rape is very rarely about sex. It is about power.

Everyone is taught to protect themselves from certain things. People lock their houses to prevent theft for example. No one blames a person when they are robbed.

By teaching women to protect themselves against this specific thing also teaches them that they are partially responsible when rape occurs.

Which is why when women attempt to prosecute this crime they are asked "what were you wearing, have you had sex before" to try to excuse what happened and assign the blame to the woman. These questions are irrelevant.

After robbery, no one asks "how was your house painted, did you ever give your money to charity before" etc. because its irrelevant.

Women are not in the slightest responsible for getting raped. No one is responsible for crimes perpetrated against them.

Rape will occur regardless of what women do. Even if they stayed home and hid under the bed all the time. Because the vast majority of rapes are not done by strangers or random attackers on dark streets. Most women are raped by men they know - friends and family members.

I already mentioned the highlighted when i said the rape whirlwind is endemic tho... Now, Compare and contrast, a bank where the bank officials are very meticulous in their dealings and the one very open, loose and carefree with the money, which's more liable to getting pilfered?

So if rape is going to happen, mostly perpetrated bu friends and family, what do you suggest women do?

Exercise the normal amount of security exercised by all people (protecting themselves against theft, arson, murder, violence), or have women segregated from men (potential rapists) at all times?

Everyone exercises personal security, women and men. It doesn't stop crime.

Next in the news: to avoid robbery, don't own anything. To avoid rape, don't be a woman. To avoid murder, be dead already.

Do you go to any extreme lengths to protect YOURSELF from rape? Probably not. But it still may happen to you. You just go about with a normal amount of personal care and protection.

If rape is endemic, then maybe we should focus MORE on teaching men not to rape, than on how women can protect themselves. Especially since rape is not commonly done by strangers in dark streets, it is done by friends and family.

When men have such a huge panel of "defences" for why they do this crime, including women not protecting themselves adequately, then this crime will still be endemic.

Solution: teach men not to rape. Just like we teach people not to steal and murder.

Hmmm i once write a poem on rape(it was powerful even for me) cus I had to feel a bit of what rape victims feel.... It was the saddest poem I ever write

Once black people's rights in the west were seen as inferior and unimportant compared with other things. It changed. Because people stood up and talked.

All we can do is fight the status quo until more people listen and change their attitude.

When people respect each other life is better for everyone. I will never stop fighting for that.

Haha you talking about West black... the only thing we have in common with them is that we are black...

The west black freedom of today many people died for it... Many are still willing to die for it as of today...

Look at our country today does it look like rape will stop soon? Hell no!!

Until people are willing and ready to die for what the believe and fight for.. There won't be any changes...

Something is fvcking wrong with our country... rape is just a fruit in the tree of our country's misery...

It was just an example of change due to social awareness, not a comment on Africa.

Every small step counts. When everyone is treated with equal respect things will get better.

Those who stand back and witness bad things happen are just as bad as those who have performed the bad acts.

Social change is not easy, but it can be done. Just because something isn't easy, doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.
